ok so maybe im being impatient...maybe my phone is having issues but it seems that everyone i know using android in the austin area has received donut except me. does anyone know where to download 1.6 update.zip for manual download??? i can wait for ota but i want it now.

new Market is working...
New google search and voice search is working nicely ...
speak "jim" and it loads many selections including the contacts for all jim's in my phone ... "cvs" need some drugs ... nearest store ...
"weather washington d c ... perfect returned info ....

===================================

So now i said let's try aHome ...

Started it and BOOOM!!! Error and force close loop ...

MENU button would not call up settings...
so resorted to POWER ... cleared force close and then POWER off

Now restart the phone in "Safe Mode" : hold MENU key and touch POWER to begin process ...
Continue to hold the MENU key ... Until you can see in transparent text in the lower left hand corner "Safe mode"

Now you can press MENU again to get to settings ...
Applications ... aHome and then scroll down and do a "Force Stop" under controls ...
this will kill aHome and now you can return to normal operation ...
You will still be in safe mode ... so reboot the phone and you should now be OK .. as you will not have aHome starting up ... and you will have the stock 3 pages of Android ....

A couple quick questions about this. Is this update for G1 only? Has anyone gotten the update with their MyTouch? Also If I have my phone rooted can I install this update? Or will it mess things up? Thank you.
